Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From the Publisher
Pailly Su is one of the eminent authors in ancient Chinese herbs, having studied the Chinese medicine for several decades and practicing it. His dedication in healthy diet and fundamental sources of herbs provides his readers with tasty and healthy dishes yet not meant to substitute the place of a physician. His later dedication has provoked so much interest that we have issued this special hardcover edition of Oriental Herbal Cook Book.
From the Author
I have been studying the Chinese medicine for several decades and practicing it for 60 years. In this Oriental Herbal Cook Book for Good Health, I excerpted 44 simple and effective recipes and the Chinese formulas. In each recipe, the medicinal effects and cooking procedure are explained in detail. Over a longer period, an herbal diet will supply energy which has been consumed over the years of over working and nourish your body which might have suffered from an unbalanced diet.

Cooking the way it was meant to be; with natural herbs.,
By D. Whitecloud (Seattle, WA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Oriental Herbal Cook Book For Good Health (I) (Hardcover)
I had to purchase this book for my wife. She is a health conscious fanatic of herbs. She believes the only way to liven a dish is to use natural herbs. She does not believe in the store bought seasonings. I am the cook of the house. When, I purchased this book I thought it was just another Martha Stewart. I have learned so much from this book, it is amazing. I love the way the author put pictures into to show what the herb looks like. I love the fact that he/she showed the herb, what it does, how to use it, and generally where it is available. Cookbooks usually, show elegant and sometimes easy dishes to make, but never where to get the key ingredients. I let my friends borrow it and they have amazing stories to tell. This is a great gift for those who are health conscious and people who are blinded by fried foods.

The food speaks for me...,
By Sabrina Ortega (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Oriental Herbal Cook Book For Good Health (I) (Hardcover)
I have a cooking class in high school. The reason I took cooking was so I wouldn't have to speak in front of the class. That is why I avoided drama. Our teacher asked us to choose any book we liked. We had to read it. Cook a meal from it , and we had to make sure we chose a book that we would want to recommend. Well, I am a fitness fanatic and I am involved in all the sports at school. A girl on my basketball team is Asian. Her mother bought this book. The reason I read it was Asians have the stereo type of being healthy and fit. Which is what I wanted my dish to portray. Other of my peers were just making the traditional vegetable platter or no meat dish. The reason I found this book a blue ribbon winner is because the author didn't write with excellency, but simplicity. She was wise to show photos of the cuisines and what they would do to strengthen your body. I like this book because any age is able to read, understand, and cook. I bought this book for my grandma for we have the same attitude toward health and food. I believe this book will be a succes for she arranged it well.

Fabulous Chinese and English herbal cookbook!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Oriental Herbal Cook Book For Good Health (I) (Hardcover)
I have read and seen so many cook books from my mother, sisters, relatives, and friends. But I've never read such a cook book that actually writes in Chinese and English, incorporates those Chinese herbs into our daily life, gives recipes for those delicious dishes (my mother actually makes a dish out of one of the recipes, and wow..., it's tastier than most Chinese food I've eaten in restaurants. I'm sure I won't miss the rest of the recipes to come.) Amazingly, I feel I've more energy, ya, probably that's what the herbs are really for.
